I have a low smile line - what might be causing this & would a lip lift help? (Photos)

Hello, I have a low smile line. What might be causing this? Could it be my frenum, the size of my lips, or something else? Would a lip tie correction or a lip lift procedure be helpful?

Would you proceed to do a lip lift less than 24h after injecting 300u of hyaluronidase in the philtrum and upper lip area?

Hi, I like to make sure the filler is dissolved at least two weeks in advance. This allows for some of the swelling to be relieved, and will have a much more accurate anatomical vision of what your lip looks like. If this is not doable a weeks time maybe adequate

That is not likely but aging is definitely the reason for loss of lip volume, projection, thinning. Fillers and lip lift in selected patients would create nice improvement.

I recommend a lip lift. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

The lip lift incision should not compromise circulation to your nose. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Thank you for the photos. Yes, your ratios are such that an upper lip lift will add more balance to the face. In fact, you appear to be an ideal candidate for it and should do very well. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia.

Am I a candidate for corner lip lift? (Photo)

Yes, you do appear to be a candidate for a corner lip lift. I would also add possibly a small amount of fat to your lips as well. This will give the best aesthetic result. The corner lip will add a little more vermilion border to the corner of the lip and give you a more symmetric upper lip...
